This has been an eventful year, to say the least. On Labor Day weekend it became even more eventful when what is now alternately known as the Riley Road wildfire, the tri-county fire, or the Magnolia wildfire broke out. Whatever you choose to call it, it was bad and it was frightening, and it burned thousands of acres in three counties: Montgomery, Grimes, and our county, Waller. We had to evacuate, and spent several days on pins and needles wondering if our little sanctuary in the woods would survive.
Thanks to the heroic efforts of the firefighting crews (98% of whom were volunteers in our area!), we were able to return to our home this week. And we are delighted to announce that we will be back in the kitchen as usual this weekend, Saturday September 17 and Sunday September 18. We hope you'll stop by to see us, and share some of your own wildfire stories.
And if you want to help out with wildfire relief and recovery efforts, no matter where you are in Texas, here's a good place to start looking for information and resources.
At the very least, pray for rain!
We hope to see you this weekend, rain or shine.
